Sleeping oxygen below 80
Hi I have OBS and had a drink last night and not used my machine for a while, recently my family have said my snoring has been really really loud, this morning my Fitbit has told me my oxygen range was below 80 to 99 range average 94, I am a bit worried as I have read worrying comments online , has anyone had this or not ? I will use machine tonight but still worried if something underlying
Hi! I'd love to hear what others in the community have to share about this. In the meantime - while we always suggest speaking with your doctor about any health concerns - I found some helpful information in this article: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/clinical/osa-severity
Particularly this portion: "Hypoxia indicates a temporary dip in blood oxygen, which could mean 1 to 2 percent within the range of normal, or a larger dip from normal to below normal.
Hypoxemia, on the other hand, indicates a blood oxygen level maintained over time that remains below what’s considered safe and normal. What’s normal? Above 90 percent."
Keep us updated! All the best, Alyssa (Team Member)
